### 1/5 — Don't Bother

*2016-02-14, version 2.05*

Scans real ID's as fake ID's people were not happy at all. Also was scanning known fake ID's as real ones, very unreliable.

### 1/5 — Connecticut

*2015-11-07, version 2.05*

Can not even read Connecticut licenses. Real ones come up as fake. Absolute fraud. All you have to do is adapt to the firstname last name format of CT and the app might.... Actually work.

### 1/5 — THIS DOES NOT WORK

*2015-07-01, version 2.05*

As a bouncer is NYC, I have to say first Hand that this app is awful and does not scan properly. Please don't use for your own sake

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2015-06-15, version 2.05*

Scans most IDs as fake, doesn't scan all states

### 1/5 — Scans real IDs as fake

*2015-05-06, version 2.05*

Scanned a decent amount of customers as fake, even ones that were obviously over 21. Use this app if you want to piss off your customers and lose business.

### 1/5 — Reads real ID's as fake

*2015-04-14, version 2.05*

Tried to implement this in my business and new there was an issue after it scanned multiple people who looked upward of 40 as fakes, they were not happy.

### 1/5 — Inaccurate

*2015-04-08, version 2.05*

I had the same problem as a user below. My real ID scans as fake and my fake ID scans as real...

Not worth it.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

### 1/5 — No longer scanning.

*2024-05-25*

The app no longer works do not use.

### 1/5 — This app is abandoned and does not work

*2022-09-13, version 3.12*

See title.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2020-02-09*

This app is a complete waste of your time if I was you I would go for something else.😕

### 1/5 — Bad Work

*2019-12-10, version 2.10*

I bought 1500 scans and every time I scan a ID it doesn’t show the information just keep saying processing

### 1/5 — Garbage!

*2019-07-13, version 2.10*

Poorly designed application! Installed app, setup an “account”, logging in, but for some reason it would not sync my account or settings. I keep getting the same error “Error Deleting Status Types...”

I’ve restarted my phone, uninstalled the app, reinstalled it, even purchased $.99 for 100 scans to see if that would help - nothing!!! Not even a
Phone number to call for support!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2018-11-16, version 2.05*

I’m a bouncer and used this at the bar I worked at. People that definitely looked over 40 had the app say their IDs were fake. I tried it on my own since I’m 23 and the app couldn’t even read the barcode on my license. I wish I could give this app less than 1 star.

### 1/5 — This app will ruin a birthday party.

*2018-04-29, version 2.05*

We went to Buffalo Wild Wings for a friends 22 nd birthday, and she went to order a drink. She has a CT license, and this stupid app said that it was a fake id. Except it wasn’t. Aside from the horrible service at the restaurant, this app was horrible and ruined a birthday party.

### 1/5 — Innacurate

*2018-04-16, version 2.05*

Showed that my real id was fake. Do not recommend

### 1/5 — I WISH I COULD GIVE THIS 0 STARS

*2017-04-06, version 2.05*

Well, first off this app to forever to download. Then I tried to scan my REAL license and it told me to try again because that was a fake ID. Hm don't think the DMV is handing out fake IDs these days so I tried scanning my roommates REAL license.. also came up that it was a fake ID!! Waste of my time! Do not waste your time and download this app unless you want to be told every ID you scan is fake.

### 1/5 — waste of time !!!

*2016-03-31, version 2.05*

fam this doesnt work!!! ct licenses cant be read even tho they for real. way better apps out there

### 5/5 — Love the improvements

*2020-05-28*

Scans many different ID’s I see through. The new changes are great, quick scans and most of the time very accurate!

### 5/5 — Bar Manager

*2018-05-20, version 2.05*

Work at a local bar with a lot of College kids I use this at the door and it identifies fake ID’s instantly, word has gotten out that we use ID Scanner and it has deterred a lot of the college kids from coming especially since these ID’s are costing them $50-$75 and we are required to confiscate them!

### 5/5 — Works great for an app

*2015-01-14*

Works well for my needs. I only scan a few people a day and it is a bit annoying to focus the camera. The interface is REALLY nice. I wouldn't use it if you have to scan lots of IDs a night.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2014-09-08*

I use this app as my CRM system. I've scanned a bunch of IDs fast and sent out free SMS text blasts from their site.

### 5/5 — My review of id scanner app

*2014-09-05*

Awesome app. Scans Ids super fast. Caught 2 kids trying to get in the first weekend. Ran out of free scans so decided to buy the professional id scanner they sell from patronscan. It is awesome! So cheap too

### 5/5 — Crazy fast!

*2014-09-05*

Very nice looking app that scans IDs extremely quickly. Definitely worth using!

### 4/5 — Dugout

*2015-01-18, version 2.05*

Pretty decent. It does read NY ids. Nice design. The only problem is it takes a bit for the camera to focus. So not great for the busy nights. Cheapest and best quality ID scanning app.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2015-01-15*

This app is really good for the price. Compared to other id scanning apps i found this one to be the best. We currently use it often at the venue i work for but we are thinking of upgrading to a more advanced scanner as none of these apps seem to scan passports and we want to make sure we are scanning everyone in. If u are looking for a free app i would suggest this one from my experiences.

### 4/5 — Does not work

*2014-11-05, version 2.03*

I have a New York City state ID and this app fails to recognize it.
Also one of my friends from Chicago, Illinois has trouble scanning his as well.

### 2/5 — Steals your money

*2015-01-21, version 2.05*

This app steals your money. I paid $9.99 for 1500 scans, it charged me twice but only gave me 1500 scans. Emailed the company and never got a response. I hadn't used it in a few days and had 1411 scans left, opened it today and it said I had 23 left. Don't bother.
